Vilahamn knows a similarly flying start may be tough for his team, with Women\u2019s Super League champions Chelsea first up on Sunday. But the manager, who arrived from Swedish club Hacken, is aiming to entertain.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018When they [Tottenham] recruited me there were the same recruitment staff recruiting Ange,\u2019 Vilahamn says.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018So they talk about how Tottenham want to play, they look for those coaches, me and Ange are probably playing in quite a similar way, we lead in a certain way which is also quite similar.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932939-12570595-image-a-8_1695898528753.jpg\" height=\"431\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>New Tottenham women&#8217;s boss\u00a0Robert Vilahamn has vowed to deliver brave attacking football<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932557-12570595-image-a-5_1695897524846.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Swedish coach wants his team to play in a similar way to Ange Postecoglou&#8217;s\u00a0men&#8217;s side<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932349-12570595-image-m-4_1695897236909.jpg\" height=\"307\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Vilahamn, second right, revealed he was hired by the same recruitment team as\u00a0Postecoglou<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It&#8217;s going to be that identity where you see \u201cnow it&#8217;s Tottenham playing football\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Tottenham want to play a style with the men&#8217;s team and the women&#8217;s team, academy and I think me and Ange try to do the same stuff with how to play, not the same formation all the time but trying to be brave enough to play good, offensive football.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the long run you&#8217;re going to see a Tottenham that dictate games, press high, want to lean forward and try to score a lot of goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The men&#8217;s team are already winning games. Hopefully we can have a good start, make some good results, but I also need to have respect against the top teams in the league.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Spurs finished a disappointing ninth last season after managing to claw themselves out of the relegation battle towards the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Vilahamn, knows results may not come overnight, especially with star striker Bethany England set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after undergoing hip surgery.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We still have a long way to go because last season was not the best and the players were not in the best shape,\u2019 Vilahamn says.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We shouldn&#8217;t expect Tottenham to win the league this year, we need to make sure we show the supporters, the board members and everyone that we play better football.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932339-12570595-image-a-1_1695897180476.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Tottenham finished ninth last season after clawing their way out of the relegation battle<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932343-12570595-image-a-2_1695897189817.jpg\" height=\"448\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Spurs start to the season has been complicated by the loss of\u00a0Bethany England to a hip injury<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/28\/11\/75932673-12570595-image-a-6_1695897713316.jpg\" height=\"428\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Vilahamn&#8217;s side will begin the season with an away trip to reigning champions Chelsea<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You look two years ago they [Tottenham] were finishing fifth, perhaps they didn&#8217;t play the best football but they finished fifth.

When you do that, you lose your identity.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Vilahamn has been encouraged by his conversations with chairman Daniel Levy, who he describes as a \u2018really good businessman\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My last interview was with Daniel Levy and it was mainly about making sure the women&#8217;s team is something we are proud of, a team that everybody can come and watch, that&#8217;s Tottenham standard.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We&#8217;re starting from the ground and it&#8217;s going to take perhaps two years but I&#8217;m going to take the time because I know in the long run you&#8217;re going to win games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But the most important thing is to show you guys we play Tottenham football.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12570595\/Tottenham-boss-Robert-Vilahamn-Ange-Postecoglous-Womens-Super-League.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham boss\u00a0Robert Vilahamn aims to emulate\u00a0Ange Postecoglou&#8217;s style ahead of their\u00a0Women&#8217;s Super League opener against champions Chelsea Robert Vilahamn is vowing to entertain after being appointed as Tottenham boss\u00a0 Spurs will begin the Women&#8217;s Super League season against champions Chelsea\u00a0 Mail Sport&#8217;s new WhatsApp Channel: Get the breaking news and exclusives here\u00a0 Robert Vilahamn, the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
